Before you do anything, read these instructions completely. There's a right way to do this and a wrong way - and the wrong way means re-downloading the entire library all over again, and nobody wants that.
V1.0.3 is live, and here are the improvements since V1.0.0:
Improved preset navigation
Master channel added to mixer
Mapping recall issues fixed
Additional note added for hi-hat CC
Optimized drum replacement
General bug fixes and workflow improvements
The update runs through the Drumforge Updater, which was installed automatically alongside the sampler.
Follow these steps exactly:
Updating from your DAW
Open the Drumforge David Bendeth plugin window.
Click the Drumforge David Bendeth logo at the top of the interface to access the Settings view.
Click the LAUNCH UPDATER button in the bottom bar to open the updater.
Save your session and close the DAW before proceeding to ensure a successful update.
Updating from your Desktop
Open the folder where you installed Drumforge David Bendeth.
Double-click the Drumforge David Bendeth Updater executable.
Select "Update Components" and make sure all boxes are ticked.
Run the update.
That's it. No full reinstall. No re-downloading the library.
If you haven't installed the Drumforge David Bendeth Updater yet, or you're doing a completely fresh install, grab version 1.0 from the original download link sent to your email. After that first clean install, all future updates go through the updater.
Reach out to the Drumforge support team (email support@drumforge.com). We'll walk you through it manually and make sure you're up and running.
Every future update to Drumforge David Bendeth - and all Drumforge plugins - will follow this same process. Once you've got it down, you've got it down for good.
Get updated and be creative.
